Brush Strokes
Recording is now complete and Brush Strokes is available for download. It's a nice upbeat track with lots going on, I think you'll like it!
Hazy Days
This track came as a bit of a surprise to me. I didn't start out with this in mind, it began to form when I added that little repeating highlight you hear on the Fender Strat, hope you like it!
Down to the Sea
Down to the Sea is now available on all major music sites. I'm pleased with the melody, it would make a nice Shadows track. Hank, if your out there ...

Spanish Eyes
There is a Mediterranean feel to this track. A curious melody winds it's way through and turns in on itself towards the end. Let it take you somewhere nice and warm with just a gentle breeze.
Peace of Me
What do you think of when listening to this piece of music? For me, it evokes some sort of journey, maybe a train journey, sitting at a window watching the World go by.
Polperro
The brand new track, Polperro is now available on iTunes and all major music sites. Have a listen and let me know what you think!

Daydreams
This one has a nice calming rhythm section doing its own thing, while the lead melodies take you on a little journey. Its one of my favourites, I hope you like it.
ITV Reprise
Into The View with a little Piano. I wondered whether it would enhance the track, I think it does. What do you think?
Feel free to let me know via the Contact section down below
Sweethearts
Available now on iTunes! it has the sparkly acoustic rhythm that I imagined along with a silky lead that complements it. Jan says its 'wonderful', that's good enough for me

In the Shadows
Well, this is a new one for me, It's a raw recording of the first ideas I had for a new track called 'In the Shadows'. It's rare that anyone releases an unfinished track, but maybe this should stay unfinished, what do you think?
Writing
Busy writing tracks for the next album. Its quite a challenge but it's worth it when all the tracks come together and the albums begin to take on their own meaning
Album Three
I'm excited to see how this next album sounds. One things for sure, I've not heard it yet and you'll be the first to know, well maybe the second!

Composition
the writing process
Ideas
Ideas can come from anywhere, I'll pick a style I like, I may find some unusual or interesting chords on the guitar and from there gradually build up a track from scratch.
Writing
When I have a clearer idea of the track, I'll start to put the song structure together and map out the intro, verses, chorus and maybe a bridge and an ending. I'll choose the instrument voicings
Recording
Traditionally the drums and bass are recorded first along with a scratch track (basic rhythm run through on an acoustic guitar) I can then record the final tracks ready for finishing.
